1. Develop a clear picture of what drought resistant perennials actually are.Research this term with a Google image search. You will immediately see that most drought resistant plants are not what you would colloquially refer to as “desert plants.” They vary in size, leaf pattern, and bloom color like all other classifications of plant life, so you are free to choose as many interesting types as you like to discuss with your Houston landscaping designer.
2. Consider using drought resistant perennials that are native to Texas.
You do not have to, of course, but it is always good to let us use indigenous plant life when possible. Not only is this a restorative act that works for the local ecosystem which was previously devastated by agriculture and urbanization, but it also works in your financial favor. Plants from this area have their own natural resistance to diseases and bugs and require far less maintenance than exotic species from other parts of the world.
